The aim of this study was to examine and compare vertical forces exerted during root canal obturation with the cold lateral condensation technique, Thermafil technique and ProTaper guttapercha. Fourty-five single-rooted permanent teeth were used in the study. All specimens were instrumented using the ProTaper rotating technique and were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 15 pe...

Introduction: The TC system, developed in 2002, allows the endodontic filling by means of a non-conventional technique that uses gutta-percha at alpha phase, thermoplasticized in its own oven, placed into canal through a McSpadden compactor, without using a main cone. Objective: The aim of this case report was to show the TC system used for root canal filling. Case report: Three teeth of a pati...

The success of endodontic procedures depends on various factors like biomechanical preparation, disinfection or sterilization the pulp space, and at last but not least i.e. obturation canal for disinfection prepaired only instrumentation is abundant. use some other aids for this, intracanal irrigants are quite necessary essential for same. Keywords: Intracanal irrigants, Chlorhexidine, Sodium ...

The treatment of mandibular molars has been challenging to the endodontist due to its several anatomical variations. The majority of mandibular first molars are two rooted with one mesial root and one distal root. It can have an additional root located lingually (radix entomolaris) or buccally (radix paramolaris). Success of endodontic treatment depends on thorough mechanical and chemical clean...

19 The biological basis of endodontics is well established and underlines the dominant role of bacteria in the initiation, development and persistence of periapical disease (Kakehashi S et al, 1965) or apical periodontitis (AP) according to the terminology currently in use. The aim of clinical procedures is to prevent or eliminate bacterial infection from the root canal system (Orstavik D, Pitt...

BACKGROUND Mature teeth with chronic apical abscesses characterized by intermittent discharge of pus through an associated sinus tract. This communication between oral mucosa and periapical inflammation is challenging for the sealing ability of root canal obturation material. Therefore, the study aim was to compare the outcomes of endodontic treatment using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) ceme...

w bstract uring the past few decades endodontic treatment has enefited from the development of new techniques and quipment, which have improved outcome and predictbility. Important attributes such as the operating miroscope and ultrasonics (US) have found indispensable pplications in a number of dental procedures in peridontology, to a much lesser extent in restorative denistry, while being ver...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic retreatment is a complex intervention that requires detailed analysis of possible reasons for failure, and flawless practical execution of the procedure. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the outcome of endodontic retreatment based on clinical and radiographic criteria after a two-year observation period. METHODS Clinical study included 49 teeth indicated ...

The essential steps for successful endodontic treatment consist of elimination of all diseased pulp and dentin tissues, adequate chemomechanical preparation and filling of the root canal system hermetically.[1] Moreover, it is crucial that root canal obturation has to be limited within root canal system. Minor apical foramen or minor apical constriction is known to be situated 0.5–1.5 mm corona...
